How many deaths?

[Flip]

AFAIK, they call Anarchy any system without any allegiance. So even empty systems are shown as Anarchy.

6 insurance claims.

I remember one boost inside station missing the exit slot, one too fast entering try and one accidental boost to a NPC.

[Feldspar]

Apparently 10 insurance claims, mostly stupid stuff like combat collisions. I've not felt the reaper's scythe since buying an Asp, though.

So ...got my new x55 hooked up. After 3 hours of trying to figure out why it wasnt showing up in the calibration windows I FINALLY found a forum thread detailing how madcatz is aware of the issue but that the stick will function properly in the software as well as in applications. Ok fine...load up elite and configure a profile for voice attack + x55. Run through a training mission to verify everything. Launch from LP 131-66 Dominion I think it was to 78 Ursae Majoris. See the pretty star, align with Rominger Dock and cruise in. Exit Supercruise and explode on the ass end of the station instantly. Not a good start with my shiny new Flight Stick. 220k Insurance claim on my Cobra. Not a big deal but it cut into my future Asp funds lol.

Ouch, unlucky! But thankfully you can't blame the X55 for that! Personally I always set the throttle to 0 when exiting SC for that very reason when the destination is not an outpost or a Coriolis.

[Cmdr Kharma]

Yep....I set throttle to zero when entering hyper and zero when exiting SC.......

Glad to see you got your X-55 though!

2 deaths,
first death was in a sidey set up for exploration, apparently the pirate npc on my way out didnt like tha fact i didnt have cargo holds, somehow i opened the cargo scoop(with no cargo ¬_¬) and i was unable to jump i was trying to find the button to close it when i eventually had to get a new sidey.
the second time was in a shiny new viper i took to a high intensity combat zone, upon destroying a python at point blank with multi cannons everything became triggered (including a certain players automated turrets) and i died to 30+ npc's 1 player and 1 federation capital ship, i went back with a refitted viper and made the money back.

Some close calls involve "bounty hunting" an anaconda in a sidey (i won), forgetting to return my throttle to 0 in hyperspace, and opening the nav computer(the cockpit got brighter and brighter before i realised), and finally docking with flight assist off,(3 casualties a repair bill and a fine)

3...
1. 2nd day, decided to do an assassination mission in my starting Eagle...That's one terrorist sporting a spiffy new Eagle hood ornament.
2. 3rd day, jumped into a star, fought for the escape vector, jumped out to another system with my console literally on fire. Was just blowing out the sparks when I came under fire from another CMDR, turned around in time to be rammed.
3. 3 weeks or so ago, rammed by an NPC, lost my canopy and didn't make it back to the starport in time - I could have swore when that happened before I still had a working hud but that time nothing. 5 mins was not enough to manually guage my SC to the station. Of course I was an idiot for not buying decent life support for what was then a nice new ASP.

No deaths so far . Well, there was one back in Beta but that was more of a buggy Beta thing - got Interdicted by a pirate and decided to fire first, which got me a bounty even though the NPC was blatantly gonna attack me at any second. Ran away because it turned out I was no good at trying to kill stuff, arrived at the station and got blown up by security for trying to dock with a bounty.
That, however, was ages ago and I've had no deaths this time around (started about two or three weeks ago). I've been attacked a few times but I think the lowest my hull got to was 47% (omg 47, I just realised - the Star Trek number :O). Now I've got a Cobra and haven't been attacked at all so far. I sort of want to try combat but I don't want to get blown up. Pity there isn't a "practice mode" I can load this particular ship into where I can mess around fighting random stuff to get a feel for it but have it not matter if I lose .
